Hunky Dory Songtext
von Philip Labes

Hunky Dory Songtext

Our job′s a lot to juggle, the economy's a struggle
So we cuddle through the chilly winter nights
Seems the bank won′t take romance in lieu of an advance
And our love doesn't power all the lights

Some people have everything
Born with a silver spoon
But those folks don't have everything
They ain′t got you

Our TV gets no channels, and our radio′s a brick
And our ice cream melted in the sun and we don't care a lick
Just our luck, the oven′s stuck, we burnt the apple pie
But it's always hunky dory, when it′s just you and I

The to-dos are getting longer, the pollutions getting stronger
And our bills are in a pile by the door
So we put all our quarters in a jam jar for the laundry
And our dreams at the bottom of a drawer


Some people have a diamond ring
And eyes in a diamond hue
But those folks don't have everything
They don′t get to look at you

So the neighbors wear fine linen we wear polyester blend
And the only place our car can drive us is around the bend
Just our luck, that's our last buck, but we don't ever cry
′Cause it′s awfully hunky dory, when it's just you and I

But eventually reality sets in like the night
When you need more than a buddy to muddle through this life
And you′ll find someone more practical to get ya through the grey
And you'll hold on to the memories, until they fade away
And we didn′t have forever, but we had today
And for the price that's awfully nice

So call it too pragmatic, call it conscience, call it greed
Both of us had nothing, but had everything we need
Just our luck, the clock just struck, looks like we′re outta time
It was awfully hunky dory, when it was you and I
